USACE and NCDWR Field Verification Meeting Minutes – February 5, 2014

Attendees:

Summary: On February 5th, 2014 the attendees listed above met on site to
verify the presence/absence of jurisdictional features, confirm intermittent to
perennial break points, and determine mitigation ratios for each feature should it
be impacted and compensatory mitigation required. The below bullet list details
findings from the field meeting. The below table lists the mitigation ratio assigned
to each stream and wetland.

 An additional segment of SV was found to be a jurisdictional, non-
mitigable stream by the USACE. It was determined to be an intermittent stream
by the NCDWR and is therefore subject to DWR stream mitigation at a 1:1 ratio
according to 15A NCAC 02H .0506(h). This segment of SV was surveyed after the
meeting and added to the Final JD Appeals Map. This segment is the upstream
most segment of SV.
 A reach of SV previously identified as ephemeral was determined to be
Intermittent by the NCDWR. This feature has perennial segments up and
downstream of it and carries a mitigation ratio of 2:1.

Stream/Wetland Mitigation Ratio
WR 2:1
SQ 2:1
SR 2:1
SS 2:1
ST 1:1

SU 2:1
SV 2:1
SV (Upper Reach Intermittent) 1:1 DWR; (not mitigable, USACE)
Richland Creek 2:1
SW 2:1
SX 2:1
SY 2:1
SZ 2:1

The Jurisdictional Features Map dated November 13, 2013 served as the basis for
the meeting. This above represents the changes and additions made to the
determinations represented on that map.

Sincerely,
